Baldwin resident Allan Schwarz torches the stairs of Bailey Hall with propane gas. Schawrz, a member of Facilities Operations for more than 37 years, used the heat to remove old safety strips and replace them with new ones. The smoke caused the hallway alarms to go off, causing some confusion among students and faculty.

ON THE RECORD
Abortion opponents' bills move forward
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Four bills pushed by abortion opponents received tentative House approval yesterday, including measures imposing new regulations on clinics and tightening a parental notification law.
One bill, advanced on a voice vote, would require the secretary of health and environment to establish minimum health and staffing standards for abortion clinics.
Another, given tentative approval on a 67-53 vote, amends a 1992 law requiring a doctor to notify a parent or guardian when a minor seeks
an abortion. The bill specifies that the notice be given in person or by certified mail.
Also advanced, on a 69-52 vote, was a bill making it a crime to injure or kill a fetus, except for an abortion. But abortion opponents see declaring that a fetus is a human worthy of protection as an important statement to make in the criminal code.
The heaviest debate was on a measure allowing the state to issue "Choose Life" license plates, which advanced 66-56.
Final action on all four measures is expected today. Passage would send three of them to the Senate. The license plate bill would go to
Gov. Bill Graves, because the Senate approved an identical version, 21-19, six weeks ago.
In past years, anti-abortion legislators have tried to restrict late-term procedures but found the U.S. Supreme Court limiting their abilities.
"There are areas where we can legislate," said Rep. Tony Powell, R-Wichita.
Proposals to restrict abortion have faced strong opposition in the Senate, which is more evenly divided between the two sides.
Although proponents of the measures said they did not attack abortion rights, critics said they would make it harder to obtain an abortion.
"The agenda for those who support the bills is to damage and pick away at a woman's right to choose," said Rep. Annie Keuther, D-Topeka.
Abortion opponents said the clinicregulation bill would protect women from unsafe conditions. But Rep. Rick Rehorn, D-Kansas City, said only two of the state's seven clinics — those operated by Dr. George Tiller in Wichita and Planned Parenthood in Overland Park — probably could afford to comply with the new requirements, which would require some clinics to purchase expensive equipment, such as life-support machines.
NEWS IN BRIEF Juvenile suspected in acquaintance rape
A 45-year-old Lawrence woman was raped around 4:30 a.m. yesterday in her home.
The suspect is a juvenile male whom the woman knows, said Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department.
—Rachel Keeseee
police have not contacted the suspect yet, and no arrest has been made, Pattrick said.
The suspect entered her bedroom, inappropriately touched, then raped her, Patrick said. There was no forced entry.
Senate persuades Graves to retract veto threat
TOPEKA — A bipartisan Senate coalition held together yesterday and attracted enough extra votes for a redistricting bill to persuade Gov. Bill Graves to withdraw a veto threat.
The bill redrawing the Senate's 40 districts passed 29-11 and went to the House, where debate is planned early next week.
**SEK week!**
Graves last week threatened to veto the measure unless it were revised. But he backed off yesterday after the plan received two more votes than the 27 needed to override a veto.
The coalition entered yesterday's debate with 21 solid votes — from its 11 conservative Republicans and 10 Democrats — and picked up eight more.
Drug-sniffing crime dog could retire tonight
LAWRENCE — Because of budget problems, the Douglas County Sheriff's Department doesn't believe it can replace its only drug-sniffing dog, Baloo.
If Douglas County commissioners give the OK, Baloo, who has aching joints from aggressive apprehension training, and has spent several months on the inactive list, could retire tonight. Commissioners must approve Baloo's adoption by his handler. Cpl. Gayland Guinn.
The department doesn't plan to train another german shepherd until the budget cloud looming over county and state government lifts.
Baloo joined the department in September 1996. He's responded to anywhere from 60 to 150 calls a year, with responsibilities for sniffing out marijuana, cocaine or methamphetamine in cars and tracking and detaining suspects on foot.
